Though no longer with Reuters, Ian Stewart came to the Reuters office in Hong Kong nearly every day, always cheerful and chatty, to file his stories under a special traffic arrangement with The New York Times.

He was twice president of the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents' Club where he was also a popular entertainer.
